Maybe you missed my point. I do not subscribe to the theory that "the
really important" stuff is garunteed to pull people in on a first
glance. If its meant to be a reference document.. then ToC comes
first. If its meant to be a grab your attention document...then
you'll add the appropriate eye-catching cleverness to sucker punch the
audience into reading the ToC as required. Perhaps the National
Inquirer approach.. "Elvis's alien love-child wants YOU to help with
Fedora!"
At this point, not having the first thing they see be the legal
boilerplate is a major victory.
I understand where you are coming from, and sure, we can't get
everyone's attention without a TV commercial.
But a nice list of bullets that address very common problems or
introduce cool stuff, that's just plainly much better than what we've
had.
Something like this at the top of the page:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/#sn-splash
It needs to be reworked to bring a list of items to the top.
